There’s not a huge amount going on, for me, up here, at the moment. January is a quiet month all round. Except for those who work in the necessary industries and shops who keep going all year round. I’m always very impressed with the guys who empty the bins and clear up the bin-store areas. They see to ours several times a day, working all day and in all weathers. Of course, I’m not out and about much at this time of year, and I’m sure there’s a lot more work going on than I see from my window, or the occasional amble through the village. Talking of which, we did one of those the other day and Neil took some photos. As you can see, the greenery is already starting to return.
This entranceway (arch) has always interested me because of the style of the stonework.
It’s raining this morning, and the sun’s just about to come up, and when it does, I don’t think we will see the perfect blue sky we had the other day when passing by Ag Athanasios in the village…
And that’s about all I have for you today. I mean, if you want to know exactly what life is like for us in the winter, we spent a thrilling couple of hours yesterday sorting out kitchen cupboards. The other night, Neil carried a chair back from Jenine’s house as you might have seen in the photo (scroll down). It’s one of two for the courtyard, a Christmas present, and the one is in place, while we await the arrival of the second. Roll on summer when we can use them.
